Paint Drips

Paint drips in all its glory hanging on the fence. You can read about the making process here. It started as part of Quilter's Mixology SAL.

The process of picking up fabrics was not easy. I had few other options on mind but as usual I was driven towards rainbow. I have no purple linen in my stash so I had to omit that and yellow is my least fav that is why I gave it the skinny strip only :) That is also the reason why pink got to play small part. The only thing that makes me little uncomfortable is that contrast in blue section.

If you look closely you can find a touch of purple at right top corner. I had to put some in there so part of binding it is. Talk about OCD.

All the credit for this fab quilting goes to my friend Monika. She was the one who quilted Summertime Sadness but this time I get to keep it. To me it's great source of inspiration and motivation to keep on trying FMQ.

The hanging sleeve and corners are made out of non fusible interfacing which I ordered wrongly and it works just fine for this kind of job. You may notice I put the corners at the bottom as well. In my opinion the added weight of stick makes the piece even more flat and pretty :)

The fun part of naming quilts by song titles is here. This one is called Chandelier (by Sia). My current fav song and I don't want to explain more. Pun intended :)

I love the photographs against the stone - it really helps make that splash of purple in the border pop! Great creative use for interfacing. The weight of a stick at the bottom does make this hang nice and flat. :)

I love it all, Vera. Smaller areas of pink and yellow (we feel the same about those colors!) The bit of purple in the binding, and of course the quilting! The whole thing is spectacular. Well done...again!

Absolutely beautiful! I love the quilting, it's amazing! And once again I'm feeling you on the song title. :) Maybe I should name my next quilt "All About the Bass" or "Boom Clap". ^_^P.S. That purple binding bit is a perfect touch!!
